Courts of criminal Justice there is no such thing as an oath administered, probably and it is to be ascribed to that fact the security or bond already alluded to, which is taken from persons bringing forward charges, as the best, if not only, means of preventing unfounded, vexatious. I beg Your Lordship will do me the favor to have this Despatch and the Trial accompanying it sent for Lord Aberdeen's perusal. In this instance the matter refers purely to this Colony, but in other cases that may occur the Department of the Chief Superintendent of Trade, &c. may be called on to take and share in the discussion; therefore, it is desirable that His Lordship should be aware of the views I entertain. I have the honor to be, My Lord, Your most obedient Humble Servant,
